[Bug 1576500] Re: Plasma fails to load: "all shell packages missing"

[Darren Peets]

Further to my comment #3:

X ran in parallel with the instance of KDE/Plasma that was started
accidentally via kdesudo and/or teamviewer daemon for an hour or two
(confusing some software), then X died in the background.  Plasma is
still running, days later.

"Everything works" was a bit of an approximation.  Plasmashell is
consuming 105-125% of a processor, 10.3G of virtual RAM, and 0.55G of
physical RAM, while Xorg eats ~30-40% of a processor, 500M virtual, 140M
RAM.  In some cases, selecting a window on the taskbar doesn't work (it
sometimes thinks I'm dragging the button I click on), and I've had some
issues with copy/paste.  I was sufficiently relieved to have plasma
again that it took a few days before its dragging bothered me enough to
check this.

Let me know if there's any information you'd like from a plasma-fails-
to-load system with "functioning" X and/or Plasma accessible only via
bizarre workarounds.  But I may not have access to the computer next
week...
